Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 47, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 September 1916 — Wolcott Band Here Next Wednesday. [ARTICLE]

Wolcott Band Here Next Wednesday.

The Wolcott band will come to Rensselaer next Wednesday evening and unite with the local band in the evening’s* concert. This will make a combined band of about forty instruments, and should prove one of the most enjoyable concerts of the season. The concert last Wednesday evening was attended by the usual large crowd. One appreciable fact that the writer noticed was the large number of people present from a distance, some even coming as far as twenty miles or more for these concerts. And they came not alone for the music, but made the occasion one for doing their shopping in the best town in northwestern Indiana. Rensselaer has long been regarded as the best trading point within a radius of forty miles, and by concerted action and co-operation of trade territory can be gradually broaded and enlarged.
